Ohio State Athletic Program Violations



Ohio State’s football program committed four minor NCAA infractions during the 2019-2020 school year. The university released a report to The Dispatch on Wednesday in response to a public records request.

According to the report, all were submitted to the NCAA and resolved. The violations reported by the school included impermissible contact with recruits, stemming from text messages sent by two unnamed assistant coaches and a member of the support staff in the days following the 2019 season-opening win over Florida Atlantic.

The coaching staff had been prohibited from sending electronic messages during the first week of Sept. 2019 due to previously committed secondary violations.

“All text messages would have otherwise been permissible to send if the self-imposed penalty had not been in place,” the report said.

Other infractions included excessive preseason expenses given to a player, who was asked to repay the over-awarded amount of $221 to a charity.

Another violation was for allowing six unnamed recruits to park without a permit near the Woody Hayes Athletic Center while they were unofficially visiting for the Week 2 contest against Cincinnati.

The final violation was for an unnamed player joining the team over the course of the last year without having his eligibility paperwork processed.

Ohio State self-reports two minor NCAA violations in football for 2022-23​

Ohio State's athletic department self-reported two minor NCAA violations related to football over the past academic year, according to documents obtained by The Dispatch through a public records request.

The use of a blocking sled during conditioning in February and a recruit's contact with a former player on a visit last September made up the violations.

Both are Level III infractions, the lowest level and considered to be isolated or limited in nature by the college sports governing body that typically result in no to minimal penalties.

As part of a workout on Feb. 13, players pushed a blocking sled that had been fashioned to include more weights.

“This additional weight was meant to add resistance as a part of the conditioning drills,” read the school’s report.

Teams are prohibited from using equipment specific to the sport at that point on the calendar.

The compliance staff at another school notified Ohio State after a clip of the workout was posted on Twitter, prompting it to reduce countable athletically related activities by a half-hour for the week of March 5-11.

The issue on the recruiting trip came after a prospect and guests, who were visiting for the Buckeyes’ Big Ten opener against Wisconsin on Sept. 24, were taken by a staff member to meet a former player at their tailgate in a parking lot across a street from campus.

Because the interaction occurred off campus, it is considered impermissible.

Bring back Bollman and we won't even have any damn blocking sleds.

Problem solved
Also won't have to worry about losing QBs to the NFL after just a year or two. No brainer, IMO.
